Who do you expect to make the team? (Shumpert and Hardaway not included, obviously) I presonally think Leslie ultimately makes the team for a couple of reasons:

1. his contract is partially guaranteed so he will be a part of our training camp. That being said he should have a great outing in summer league and make our team. In my opinion he will take Copes spot on the roster/rotation and that was part of the reason we drafted him. His game is still evolving, his defense is noteworthy. given the 7'1 wingspan he gets to a lot of shots that others would have trouble with and can recover from blow-bys better than most. His offense around the basket is exceptional his J will need to evolve for him to truly become a solid rotation guy for years to come.

On to Hardaway, i didnt know much about his game at first -- but i liked the pick. I watched a few of his college games ( thanks youtube ) and saw the finals live. He can play. Flat out. You see it in his movement he may not be the most consistent but a lot of rookies suffer from those growing pains. His offense is better than most, and when hes on his game he was arguably the best player on that 2nd place Michigan team. Coaches all raved at how he sacrificed his game for the team, and all said he could've improved his stock had he played selfishly. However, he chose to win instead. still got his and the team made the final four as a result. That says something about the player. I personally would like to see him put the ball on the floor more, cause watching his scouting, his drive to the basket is too good. He's explosive and when he's on his game he's lights out from the perimeter. when hes struggling he reverts to a spot-up shooter. sounds like we got a Jr at the tip and a Novak when he's off. his defense is above average and playing next to a menace like Shumpert will help his defense look that much better.

Cant find much on A.J but i think the most likely 2 to make the team in when we open in November are,

C.J Leslie and A.J Matthews.

** look out for shumpert, this guy is gonna make a huge leap much like the one we saw George make this year** our flat out #2 option next year is Shumpert. Melo sees it and we all saw his full potential flash at times vs the celtics and vs the pacers. now he just gonna put it all together, and cook!

I hope Grunwald is not waiting for the SL games to end, to start looking for the 3rd & 4th tier FA to fill in the (6) empty roster spots .. its not our low budget money that are keeping decent FA away from signing with the Knicks ..
its the untold story of ISO-Melo & ISO JR system (Nuggets & Knicks) that has been keeping FA distant from signing with the Knicks ............ (recall Marbury and our 2 FA name JJ)

This is what we are looking at on July 8, 2013

1) Tyson (finally wants no more of the ISO-Melo system)
2) Amare (never wanted to be a part of the ISO-Melo system)
3) Bargani (a soft injury-prone $12M per player, r we serious?)
4) Shump (has been lost in the ISO-Melo system for 2 season)
5) Felton (has not been enjoying the ISO-Melo system)
6) Pablo (happy to get a 2nd season in the NBA at age 36)
7) Hardaway Jr. (in for a big surprise-surprise his first NBA season)
8) JR.smith (a 6th Man no team want on their roster)
9) ISO-Melo (the Knicks hire/fire supervisor above Grunwald & Woodson)
10) ???

Lastseason we had a total of 19 players on our roster, inwhich 9 of those players played in 50 games lastseason...

If Knicks could sign two Veteran Min. contracts for one big man and one wing player then use the remaining of the MLE on a PG... These two front court players could be impressive and utilized with quality minutes... Tyler is more intriguing than Jordan but we can only hope...

We just signed Hardaway JR ( no **** ) today to a rookie deal but the interesting turn was signing Leslie to a contract as well. Seems like this guy is a safe bet to make the team next season and get some burn. I'm looking forward to watch this guy play. Seems like my prediction is coming full circle

Shump is playing because he wants to keep consistency with his offensive game. The more he plays at this point the more he gets better on the offensive ends. This will only help shumpert. He will be a huge option next season. Allstar close numbers; I'm calling it

Kiya --- no words man--- no words This ISO MELO is getting out of control, knicks finally have a star who demands shots per game as we have been jealous of kobe, Jordan, wade, dirk, etc for years and you have nothing but negative things to say. Melos offense is not his problem, im shocked that's what you choose to complain about, stars are supposed to isolate and take over games, that's what melo does. if you want to knock him then knock other flaws, but stop with the ISO crap its getting old and its so uncalled for.

The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
